I’ve Paid For This Twice Already…

Thanks for the Votes and Guest Post at NCN

First off, thanks for the votes all through the personal finance March Madness competition at Free Money Finance. And great news! We won! Snowflaking: A Primer was crowned the best personal finance post of the last year. $500 will be donated by Free Money Finance to The Make A Wish Foundation to celebrate. Congratulations to all the other entries as well and especially the rest of the final four, whose charities will also receive donations:

• Leukemia & Lymphoma Society - $250 for Being Frugal’s great post teaching her son about money in second place
• American Cancer Society - $100 for The Digerati Life’s exploration of the Cheapest Family in the nation
• Russian Children’s Welfare Society - $100 for Brip Blap’s awesome advice of wealth building - if it isn’t too late already

I don’t labor under the illusion that my Snowflaking post won because I am some supreme writing goddess - it is because of all of you out there who have embraced snowflaking, talked about it on your own blogs, joined the Snowflake Revolution, and otherwise become huge advocates for snowflaking in your own life. It is amazing how one simple idea can spread like wildfire and become an entire phenomenon. Thank you to everyone who has taken snowflaking under their own wing, and let’s make this year the year we finally start moving meaningfully towards debt freedom, investing and savings goals, and a better financial future. Financial independence, here we come!

On that note, No Credit Needed has been running a semi-regular series called 33 Ways and 33 Days to Increase Savings and Reduce Debt, and I had the honor and privilege of writing the final installment, Day 33, for his blog. Day 33 - Remember To Live A Little, went live yesterday. I was really excited to see it, because I thought that meant his wife gave birth to their third child, but they are still waiting for baby to be born, NCN is just super-busy with preparing for her arrival. If you aren’t a regular reader of No Credit Needed hop on over and read my take on what it all means.

My usual Wednesday carnival roundup will appear later this week because I wanted to share all the exciting news above with you - I have some exciting news on the carnival front too though, as of this writing, I have had 4 editor’s picks in carnivals this week. World domination here I come…
